Status unknown for weekend Wober (should) is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's match against Southampton following no update from new manager Javi Garcia.

Impact The new manager didn't reveal any information on the team's injuries, which doesn't help anyone. Wober only made it 45 minutes last weekend due to the shoulder injury and if he can't go, he could be replaced by a couple options with Liam Cooper and Rasmus Kristensen the most likely, though Garcia may have other ideas with the team.

Impact Wober has made just one appearance for Leeds United this season in which he logged 23 minutes and recorded one shot (zero on target), one tackle (won) and two clearances. With the defender available, he should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI, though he is far from a lock.

Impact Wober has increasingly gotten a bit more time since joining Leeds early in the month, though this knock could keep him out of Sunday's contest.

Signs with Leeds United Wober has signed a four-year deal with Leeds United from Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact This move for Wober had been rumored for some time, as he's already worked with Jesse Marsch in the past. He didn't find a ton of success at Sevilla earlier in his career, but he's been a regular for Salzburg the past few years where he received valuable Champions League experience. Wober can play at center-back, but he's been used as a left-back, and there's a chance he could find time right away.
